'Rage Yoga' is the New Trend

If loitering in a room while peacefully humming and perfecting your downward dog doesn't scream fun Thursday night to you.

Then maybe give the normal yoga class a miss, and instead try your hand at 'rage-yoga.' 

Canadian Lindsay-Marie came up with the concept when she's struggling to get over a breakup. She created a session that is designed to help you improve your skills whilst releasing tension and not having to get all like 'I really found myself in this yoga class.'​ Lindsay told Vice in a recent interview:

"When I started going to yoga classes, I felt like I didn't really fit in at a lot of those different studios. [They have a] very deadpan, serious, overly serene approach to things. And that's just not how I roll."

The specific hybrid of yoga encourages you to pose while swearing, drinking and listening to some extreme metal, like Metallica and Black Sabbath​. So basically yoga on opposites day. The site sums it up well:

"Want to better your strength, flexibility and become zen as f—? Enjoy the occasional f-bomb or innuendo? You've come to the right place." 

So hopefully after an hour of swearing and stretching you'll leave looking a little something like this...

The classes are currently only happening in Canada, but she got a Kickstarter page that reached it's target, so soon anyone with access to the internet will be able to enjoy some angry yoga.

It sounds like just the right amount of good-crazy to us.
